Case Discussion Forum Instructions:

Before posting, please read the Discussion Forum Grading Policy document in the Case folder so

you know how many times to post and how the posts will be graded.

Also read the weekly outline (for week 8) on the TWO due dates for the case discussion (one for

the original post, the other for your responses). Your original post is worth 20 points, and your

responses to other students’ posts are worth 30 points.

We will have a live session on this case study at 8 pm CST, 3/9 (Tuesday). There is not a specific

attendance policy for the live session. But I expect that students who cannot attend the live

sessions will participate more on the discussion board (i.e., make more than the minimum 3

posts).

Choose one of the below topics, and post your initial response on that topic.

1. In the case study, when calculating incremental unlevered net income, should we include

all the expenses mentioned in the case? If not, what expenses should we exclude and

why?

2. Is there a big jump of unlevered net income from Year 5 to Year 6? Why?

3. How do you calculate the level of net working capital (NWC)? What is the value of

NWC at the end of Year 0, 1, and 6?

4. Which of the following free cash flow (FCF) streams is (are) a growing perpetuity?

FCF in Year 5, 6, 7 …

FCF in Year 6, 7, 8 …

FCF in Year 7, 8, 9 …

If you use the growing perpetuity formula: Year N TV = (Year N+1 CF)/(r−g), what is

the present value of that terminal value (is it Year N TV or some other numbers)?

Topic: Head taxes & Chinese in Victoria

Focus on one head tax. There were a number of different head taxes passed in British Columbia. Some of them were eventually ruled illegal, but not before they had interesting effects on the economic behavior of the people affected. For example, a head tax imposed by the City of Victoria in 1878 led to a general strike by Chinese workers in Victoria. (See ‘The Head Tax of 1878,’ starting on page 260 of ‘Stories from Canada’s Economic History’: https://onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/willmore/wp-content/uploads/sites/5845/2021/01/SCEH2ED.pdf ) Meanwhile, the first federal head tax was imposed in 1885. This was important because it was applied at a federal level.

Once you’ve chosen on one head tax to focus on, try to focus on the impact on one specific group: a person, a family, a business, an association (e.g. how did the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association react?), etc.

 

 

Question1: Shrink your topic[1]. Narrow it down to the smallest story that you can still tell completely.

 

Smaller Topic: suggestion: the first federal head tax was imposed in 1885

 

 

 

Time:

 

 

 

Place

 

Question2: Start telling your story. Very briefly, tell me the basics of what happened[2]. What was the original situation? What happened? What changed as a result of what happened? Provide sources for any claims you make. Each section (beginning, middle & end) should be no more than half a page long.

 

Beginning:

 

[Write your answer here]

 

Middle:

 

[Write your answer here]

 

End:

 

[Write your answer here]

 

Sources you used, cited in APA format:

 

[Write your answer here]

 

What is the main economic point of your story? (economics studies the allocation of scarce resources.)

 

 

Question3: In this question, you need to find a primary source related to your (narrowed down) topic. This source should be from the time period in question (or written later by someone who participated in the event you’re writing about), and should be an original source of information. So, for example, a letter written by a government official in 1913 about the situation on the Blood Reserve would be a primary source on that topic. A peer-reviewed article published in 2018 that talks about that letter would NOT be primary source. For the purpose of this assignment, newspaper and journal articles written at the time of the event you are talking about are primary sources.

 

The following list of resources can help you find a primary source:

  1. Find a primary source that is relevant to your topic, and cite it in APA format
  2. Briefly explain why this source is relevant to your topic
  3. Briefly explain what you learned from this source, and how it affected your understanding of the economics of the situation you are studying.

Instructions

This is a group project.  You will be paired with 2 other classmates to work on this paper collaboratively, although each of you will submit your own paper.

The purpose of this assignment is to assist students in understanding the different classroom environments of their students in order to be an effective advocate for inclusion of students with disabilities.   As a group, look over the Classroom Observation Resource List and choose 3 or more videos to view. You will observe two types of special education classrooms (one Inclusive or Mainstream Classroom and/or at least one Resource Room and/or one Self-Contained Classroom and/or one Low Incidence/Other Disabilities classroom (K-12).  Use the Guided Classroom Observation List to help you focus on what these classrooms have in common and how they differ.

As you compare and contrast these 2 classroom settings in your group discussions, identify how each classroom supports students with disabilities and if there are areas that need improvement.

Even though you will discuss your findings and observations with your group, each group member will write their own three to five page paper that addresses the following topics for each classroom.

1) Introduction: Two classrooms that are to be observed
Include classroom type, grade, number of students, types of disabilities seen in the classroom and any environmental descriptors about the classroom.
2) Describe any adaptations and accommodations observed (supports for students with disabilities)
3) Describe any behavior management or techniques observed
4) Personal Impressions/Critique (of methods and practices observed)
5) Observations related to class and readings (Include at least 5 things). Be specific – what specific things did you observe that matched something from the text, discussions, or videos? For example, did you observe a teaching method that you read about in the text?
6) Conclusion: What was learned about different environments/classrooms in special education through observations?

BCO124 MACROECONOMICS Task brief & rubrics
Midterm Task brief
Description:
• This is an individual task.
• Weight: This task is worth 40% of your overall grade for this subject.
Submission: Via Moodle (Turnitin). Submissions will be accepted until Sunday 7th March 2021 at 23:59 CEST.
Formalities:
• The minimum amount of words to be used is 1000 and the maximm is 1500
• You may want to include images/graphics etc. (for example from their website) to make your reasoning and argumention more visual and explicative
• Font: Arial. Size: 12,5pts. Line spacing: 1,5. Text align: Justified.
• Appendices and References, do not count towards the final wordcount but are strongly recommended (referencing websites, articles, books etc.)
• The in-text References and the Bibliography have to be in Harvard’s citation style.
Questions:
1. Investment and the market of loanable funds (30%)
a) Suppose that Inditex, a Spanish multinational clothing company, is considering building a new clothes factory.
• Assuming that Inditex needs to borrow money in the bond market, why would an increase in interest rates affect Inditex’s decision about whether to
build the factory? Use the graphical representation of the market of loanable funds to support your answer.
• If Inditex has enough of its own funds to finance the new factory without borrowing, would an increase in interest rates still affect Insitex’s decision
about whether to build the factory? Explain.
b) Suppose now that Inditex and its lender agree on the nominal interest rate to be paid on a loan. Then inflation turns out to be higher than they both
expected.
• Is the real interest rate on this loan higher or lower than expected?
• Does the lender gain or lose from this unexpectedly high inflation? Does the borrower gain or lose? Explain.
2. Economic growth and productivity
a) What is the productivity of a country? How it affects economic growth? Use the theoretical concepts delivered in this course, the graphs and equations
explained to answer the question.
b) What components of GDP (if any) would each of the following transactions affect? Assume that you live in the US. Explain.
1. Tom buys a new refrigerator from a domestic manufacturer.
2. Pedro hires a local contractor to build her a new house.
3. Ford sells a Mustang from its inventory to the Martinez family.
4. Ford manufactures a Focus and sells it to Avis, the car rental company.
5. The federal government sends your grandmother a Social Security check.
6. Your parents buy a bottle of French wine.
7. Honda expands its factory in Ohio.
3. Unemployment
a) Structural unemployment is sometimes said to result from a mismatch between the job skills that employers want and the job skills that workers have.
To explore this idea, consider an economy with two industries: auto manufacturing and aircraft manufacturing.
• Suppose that one day the economy opens itself to international trade and, as a result, starts importing autos and exporting aircraft. What would
happen to the demand for labor in these two industries?
• Suppose that workers in one industry cannot be quickly retrained for the other. How would these shifts in demand affect equilibrium wages both in
the short run and in the long run?
• If for some reason wages fail to adjust to the new equilibrium levels, what would occur?
b) Between January 2012 and January 2019, U.S. employment increased by 17.3 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by
only 6.3 million. How are these numbers consistent with each other? Why might one expect a reduction in the number of people counted as
unemployed to be smaller than the increase in the number of people employed?
Outcomes: This task assesses the following learning outcomes:
• understand the forces determining macroeconomic variables such as national output, inflation, unemployment, and interest rates;
• apply macroeconomic terminology and assess macroeconomic policy suggestions;
• evaluate real life situations with a practical application of the acquired tools and knowledge.
